Math: We’ve been working on standard division lately using Khan Academy.
Here are some skills we’ve been working on:
Homework is to practice MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for at least 15 minutes.
Science: We learned that the earth has around 20 features that make it habitable for life: oxygen atmosphere, right location from sun, correct size star, rocky planet, liquid water, magnetic field, and many others. All these features are needed for life and show that earth-like planets are rare in the universe.
Social Studies: None today.
